An alleged assault from 2007 is coming back to haunt Da Brat and her wallet. According to TMZ, the rapstress, who rose to fame in the ’90s working with Mariah Carey, Missy Elliot and Ludacris, has been slapped with a $6.4 million dollar bill Wednesday (Feb. 26) for assaulting a former NFL cheerleader.

Stevens sued Brat in 2009 while the MC was serving her six-year prison sentence for pleading guilty to aggravated assault.
